Wideleg Pants | Healing From An Eating Disorder
Eating Disorder Conversation* Trigger warning
Beloved friend! I am so happy you’re here! How are you today? I am feeling a little cold and a little pale, ha! Super grateful for this time and feeling the budding excitement for the warmer Spring season to come! With this in mind, we’ve selected many wide-leg pants for you in all different colors, fabrics, and price points in case you are in the market for wide-leg trousers like I am. This is a 2023 trend that I will for sure be enjoying this year! I am such a fan of these pants because they are so chic and you can dress them up with nice heels or flats or completely dress them down with white sneakers! They are extremely chic yet feel comfortable, especially these I just found and I’m wearing in the photo! I had to buy all new pants in the recent year because I gained weight and could no longer fit into my other pants! I thought you know what, maybe what I am going through is also something a sister can relate to. I’m going to share a bit of myself that is hard to share below, I pray that it will impact you in a positive light and only add to your healing.
No matter what your style is, I want you to know that you are enough in Jesus. Especially if you’re here maybe looking for different pants because you can’t fit into your old ones because you maybe gained weight, or struggle yourself with an eating disorder, like me. Sis, no matter what your story is, the Lord sees your heart and where you are at and he understands all you’ve been through. My prayer is that my journey of healing will become an inspiration for your own healing. I’m on a journey to becoming the healthiest version of myself, INSIDE and OUT and I had to grieve and let go of my past “size” my past self in order to give room to this new version of a newer healthier version of me, that has recovered from an eating disorder. My sick clothes don’t fit me anymore and THANK YOU JESUS. I didn’t know how sick I was until Jesus pulled me from under the mud. I was at my skinniest still thinking I wasn’t thin enough, so I thought to myself when will it be enough? Will I ever be enough? What number on the scale is enough?
I realized it wasn’t about pounds or a size on a tag. I realized there was a dark shame film over my eyes from seeing myself the way God saw me. My prayer has been, “Lord, show me what you see when you look at me and take away any toxic patterns inside me.” Jesus has shown me his unconditional love and what I look like to him through getting to know the bible and what he says about me. I am no longer ashamed of myself or the beauty or imperfections he gifted me with. I now feel the confidence I had never before even in my brokenness. The confidence that washed away and replaced by shame that covered me up from believing I was worthy of love and connection even to myself. God is continuously healing me from my very painful past. Every day is a opportunity to remind myself that I am made new in Jesus.
“Therefore, if anyone is in the Messiah, he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared, and—look!—all things have become new!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
Whatever brought you to this post, know this. You are ENOUGH right now, just as you are. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Saviour he is enough for us both in a way that seals our identity to a hope that will never be squandered. When you believe that you are worthy because of what Jesus did on the cross for you, you are on a journey of healing and wholeness that will enable you to see yourself through HIS LENSE and give your spirit the freedom it’s longed for your whole life! And IN Jesus, there is no harsh treatment towards you. So you don’t have to treat yourself harshly, you can re-learn to cultivate a different relationship with yourself and can do so with love, compassion, and grace. No perfection is needed! Just tiny bits of daily ordinary progress, WE CAN DO THAT!! Even if the progress feels like we are going backward, TRUST THE PROCESS. Backward isn’t always bad because Jesus heals in a miraculous way; like an arrow being pulled back to be launched even further out into broader healing, hope, and freedom! So, will you bring your healing to him? You can trust him. Trust me that if anyone has done more to mess up before Jesus, it’s been me. And he still loves me and accepts me which gives me the desire to thank and praise him. If he can heal me, he can heal and help you! I am still a work in progress until I go to heaven. Not perfect, but grateful for Jesus who is perfect for me.
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
He loves you and will never let you go, even when you might feel not hopeful his hope IN you will always give you hope! I hope you know and are truly on your way to believing that. There can be miracles when you believe, and even when our hope is small, God is BIG. Even in the hardest of seasons, God can and will truly be your LIVING HOPE! I believe in you and I pray that the very best part of you does so as well!!
